Multifetal Pregnancy May Increase The Risk For Severe Maternal And Neonatal Vitamin D Deficiency, Benjamin U. Nwosu, Leslie A. Soyka, Amanda Angelescu, Olga T. Hardy, Mary M. Lee Mar 2012

Multifetal Pregnancy May Increase The Risk For Severe Maternal And Neonatal Vitamin D Deficiency, Benjamin U. Nwosu, Leslie A. Soyka, Amanda Angelescu, Olga T. Hardy, Mary M. Lee

Benjamin U. Nwosu

Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in pregnant women. This deficiency could be exaggerated in multifetal pregnancies by the increased demand on maternal stores of vitamin D. We present 2 cases in which hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism occurred in 2 sets of twins from mothers with vitamin D deficiency. The first mother had gastric bypass surgery and Crohn disease. The second mother had no apparent cause of vitamin D deficiency. Both women had iron deficiency anemia and lived in Northeastern United States. We speculate that in twins, the demand for 25-hydroxyvitamin D by 2 fetuses could deplete the 25-hydroxyvitamin D stores …

Consenting patients/parents were followed up by telephone 7 to 14 days after discharge regarding satisfaction and waiting times.

Everton Fernando Alves

A Anomalia Anorretal é uma importante causa de obstrução gastrintestinal, com alta taxa de morbi-mortalidade em recém-natos. Há diversos mecanismos patológicos possíveis para explicar esta malformação e duas explicações clássicas de sua gênese são um defeito de recanalização do tubo intestinalou uma interrupção no suprimento sanguíneo durante a vida intra-uterina, entretanto a causa ainda é desconhecida. Desta forma, o presenteestudo tem por objetivo descrever um caso clínico de uma criança internada em um Hospital do Município de Maringá-PR, portadora de uma anomalia anorretal (Ânus imper-furado). Para este estudo, foram coletados dados do prontuário da criança, exame físico e uma entrevista …
